8-2 Basic Setup Menu

8-2-1 Items in the Basic Setup Menu

The basic menu items (excluding the items related to the digital hours meter) are listed in the following table.

Item names are the names which appear on an external monitor, when the input signals to the monitor are the video signals output from the VIDEO OUT 2 (SUPER)/ SDI OUT 2 (SUPER) connector.

An abbreviated name appears in the time data display section when you press the NEXT button.

The values in the Settings column are the values which appear in the time data display section. (The values may appear in a different format on an external monitor. In this case, the external monitor values are shown in parentheses.) Underlined values are the factory defaults.
